Deadpooled · Milan, Lombardy · founded 2014 · 10 employees$900Kraised▾
Horus has developed a wearable assistant for blind and visually impaired individuals for transforming visual information into voice messages. The device is made up of a band that wraps around the back of the head, with earpieces and two side-by-side cameras on one end. The cameras keep a close eye on what's in front of the wearer and dictate what it sees through the earpiece, which uses bone conduction to bypass the ear canal and stimulate ear bones directly. The device is connected to a separate unit housing the processor and battery via a 1-meter cable. Users can adjust the volume and change settings with a set of buttons on both the processor unit and the headband. The company claims that the solution comes embedded with an NVIDIATegra GPU that powers the deep learning algorithms allowing the same to recognize who and what it's looking at, and at the press of a button the device can describe the scene before it is detailed, down to the furniture and people present.

Tooteko is a technology that assists visually impaired to visualize an object. It basically consists of three elements viz a ring, NFC tags, and a mobile application. NFC tags are applied at different points on the objects and when a user wearing the ring gets near that point where NFC tag is present a relevant audio track is activated through the application which gives a detailed description of that particular point or object. Tooteko was accelerated by Eye Focus Accelerator.

ICan Robotics develops robotic rehabilitation units for people with reduced limb movements or control of the limbs. The upper limb and lower limb rehab units are named Motus and Lenar respectively. The robot is similar to an exoskeleton and replicate the structure of the limbs. The robot is unique, in the sense, it has no joints that have to be accurately aligned with the joints of the patient. This significantly reduces the down time needed for set up of the robot.
